Buying a car is a big investment. For the money you spend, you want a car that's reliable, maybe a little flashy, and you want to make sure it's got a great engine and smart technology.

But with so many different makes, models and types of cars out there, it's hard to know what kind of car is right for you. Do you need a minivan for taking the kids to soccer practice? Maybe you want to get the car with the best gas mileage because you have a long commute. Or, maybe you're ready to join hundreds of thousands of Americans who own an electric car.

No matter what your needs or wants are, check out AutoTempest. It's an interactive site that can help you find your ideal car, anywhere in the country.

Select the type of car and features you want from the drop-down menu. Click search. Then it's time to sift through all your results. From there, you'll see more details about the vehicle, including a detailed history report.

There are car reviews and links to dealers, so you can get in touch. AutoTempest has a handful of guides, covering how to buy a car, extended warranties, how to find local car auctions and more.
